Although in vitro studies have demonstrated that HPV can immortalize mammary epithelial cells, its contribution to breast carcinoma development in living organisms remains debatable. Reports on HPV detection in breast tumors vary widely across regions, and data from East Africa are limited. This study investigated the prevalence and genotypic distribution of high-risk HPV in breast tumors in Western Uganda. This...
